- Overall:
- This article appears to restrict both its scope and sources to several Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction and one other source on science fiction writers.
- My sense is that the scope of this article is not as wide as it could be, considering Mercury appears in film, book, comics and games be they board games or video games.
- A rethink about the scope of this article is necessary. It is somewhat restricted. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:17, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Whiteguru, this source is a Wikipedia mirror of an earlier version of this article. TompaDompa (talk) 05:35, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- I recommend renominting this. I find the above failing of the article without opportunity to discuss unfair. I think the article is a bit short and doesn't utilize all sources, but I don't see how it is "too limited in scope". What else to add? The reviewer didn't even make any suggestions...
